Overview

Notes:

This is an all ages show.

AFI is touring in support of AFI (The Blood Album) (Concord), which hit No. 1 on
Billboard’s Alternative and Hard Rock Albums Charts and No. 5 on The Billboard
200. The album includes fan favorites like "Snow Cats" and "White Offerings".
AFI (The Blood Album) is the follow-up to 2013’s Burials, which hit Top 10 on
The Billboard 200. Since the release of 1995’s debut album Answer That and Stay
Fashionable, AFI has written and recorded five top ten hit singles, hit No. 1 on The
Billboard 200 (with the stunning December underground).

In their decade-plus career, Circa Survive has continued to challenge themselves
and test the boundaries of musical genres. With each album they’ve gone outside
their musical comfort zone, jumping between post-rock, psychedelic, prog, post-hardcore,
and shoegaze, creating a sound that’s uniquely theirs yet has the power to connect
with a wide swath of music fans. Their latest album, Descensus, isn’t just an
impressive illustration of Circa Survive’s constantly evolving creativity; it’s
a testament to the strong bond the five members share. They’ve experienced career
highs and personal lows, but their dedication to each other has never wavered.

Recorded with Will Yip at Studio 4, Citizen's second full-length effort presents
the most fully realized version of the band to date in spite of it being their most
dissonant and chaotic material they have ever written. The marriage of destruction
and beauty looms throughout the album from its start to conclusion. Everybody Is Going
to Heaven begins with a blank slate, explores its fair share of life's ugly moments
and tragedies along the way, but ultimately, leaves this world on its own volition
and peace of mind. You could say this represents where Citizen are now: A band who
passionately sets out to create their own art, and makes itself clear they have no
intention of retracing past steps or mistakes set into the ground by their others,
or even themselves.

Gift certificates are available in a variety of denominations and may be redeemed toward any ticketed performance at the historic War Memorial Auditorium as well as the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
